Thats not a bad price of they are hard to get in your area…I paid $1100.00 Canadian for mine so thats about the same price…

They do shoot very well in 8 twist!

I was at a John Deere dealership this morning also serves as a gun shop they had 3-SS Tikka Varmint 1:8 .223 for 889.00 Cdn I almost grabbed one but I already have the same in a heavy barrel.Good luck 7×57 your new purchase.

I have 2 one in light and one in Varmint and they are both shinning stars in my gun safe

just buy it you  won't regret having one!!!!

Miramichier grab that rifle now if you can!, the 1:8 twist is gold!!!

figure $700 for a current 1:10 twist, and $300 for new barrel in 1:8 or whatever, and $200 or more for fitting it and whatnot… up to you.
